Angela Calabrese Barton is a professor in teacher education. Her research is grounded in the
intersections of teaching and learning science with an emphasis on equity and critical justice.
Her work takes place within three interrelated strands: 1) Working within the intersection of
formal/informal education in support of understanding and designing new possibilities for
equity-oriented teaching and learning; 2) designing teaching-learning tools and experiences
that promote expansive learning outcomes, such as critical agency, identity work, and social
transformation (as grounded within expanding disciplinary expertise); and 3) participatory
methodologies for embracing authentic research + practice work that attends to practitioner,
youth and community members voices, and critically engages the goals of equity and justice.
